Is Laser Tattoo Removal More Effective on Lighter Skinned Individuals?

Asked By:Leleeeee

So i recently (3 months ago) got a tattoo & now im looking to remove it as it was a deep mistake. im a hispanic woman with generally a lighter toned skin color & ive been known to scar easily but the scars usually fade over time, about 2 years but it still leaves some sort of marking if you really take the time to look when direct light is hitting my skin. if the cut/marking is really deep then it takes longer.
